From Sandi Bateman Chestnut ('65) of
VA - 09/21/10, 10:32 PM - "Pat Floyd Pride (Class of 62)":
| Hi, Carol, Thought I'd write you and let you know that Pat (  Joe Floyd's
- '65 - sister) & her husband, Bob,
lost their second son in less than two years this past weekend. A
neighbor/good friend of ours works at Peninsula Funeral Home and said
they were in today to make arrangements for him. I'm not sure when his
memorial service (he's being cremated) is being held, so don't know when
the obituary will be in the paper. They, along with their third son,
definitely need our prayers.
OH, NO!!!
I'm so sorry to learn this, Sandi! Their son,

Thank you so much for letting us know, Sandi! We will definitely keep
them all in our thoughts and prayers.

('62 - of VA)":
| Hi Carol, I see by your newsletter that you have heard about Pat's son, Rob. I think the obit will be in Wednesday paper. The funeral is Saturday, the 25th at 2pm. 2-3:30 is visitation and the funeral to follow. He is survived by his mom and dad, Pat and Robert Pride, and his 1 year old son Che' Hinton Pride. Donations instead of flowers to be sent to Che' Hinton Pride, P. O. Box 2144, Poquoson, Va. 23662. Robert Pride is my distant cousin, marrying my friend Pat who I graduated with. Small world huh? His grandmother was my mom's mom's sister. Do you get that? :-) Very tragic news, Pat and Bob having lost a son just over 1 year ago. I know that Rob's son was a gift from God to help Pat and Bob get through all this. Thanks for keeping everyone up to date. Wish I did that myself, keep up the good work. Keep Pat and family in your thoughts and prayers; they sure do need it. Thanks, Brenda A. Williams Typhoon Forever "Sometimes in the winds of change we find our true direction."
Thanks so much,
Brenda!
If I
followed you correctly, you said that Bob's grandmother and your
grandmother were sisters, making your mother and his mother first
cousins. That means that you and Bob are second cousins - not so distant
at all.

Once again Bob and Pasty,
I am so saddened by the passing of Rob, and what a good looking young
man he was. Unbelievable, incredible. I pray God's blessings for you as
you work through your grief. ~ Eddie Nichols, Reston, Virginia September 23, 2010
Pat, may God's peace and love be with
you and your family at this time of great sorrow. Our deepest sympathy
and condolences go out to you along with the wish that God's
understanding will soon comfort you.

Bob and Patsy, Rob, or as I remember
him "Chip", was a good friend from our childhood years. He was funny,
caring, and a pleasure to be around. My family, Glenda and Donika give
you our deepest condolences and wish the family well. September 23, 2010
Deepest sympathy to your
family during this difficult time. May you find peace from the many
wonderful memories of Rob, a beautiful person.

Music by Samuel Webbe
Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish.
Come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel.
Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish;
Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.
Joy of the desolate, light of the straying,
Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure!
Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying,
"Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot cure."
Here see the bread of life; waters flowing
Forth from the throne of God, pure from above.
Come to the feast of love; come, ever knowing
Earth has no sorrow but heaven can remove.
